Manchester United's manager, Erik ten Hag, is under scrutiny by the club's football department led by Sir Jim Ratcliffe and key executives like sporting director Dan Ashworth and technical director Jason Wilcox. The Dutchman's tactical approach is being questioned following a lackluster start to the season, with United managing just one win in three Premier League matches.

Ten Hag, who signed a contract extension in the summer, has faced challenges with injuries to key players and integrating new signings, including Leny Yoro, Joshua Zirkzee, and Matthijs de Ligt. The team's recent 3-0 defeat to Liverpool highlighted vulnerabilities in midfield and defense, prompting concerns about Ten Hag's ability to set up the squad effectively.

Despite receiving support from Ashworth and chief executive Omar Berrada, Ten Hag's position could be at risk if he fails to demonstrate improvements in United's gameplay. Fans have expressed frustration over the team's inconsistent performances and lack of clear progress under Ten Hag's leadership.

While some supporters advocate for giving Ten Hag more time, others believe that his stagnant style of play and poor results warrant a change in management. As speculation grows around Ten Hag's future, the pressure is mounting for him to deliver positive results and show that he can lead United to success in the Premier League.
